English Overview
An up-to-date understanding of the caries process in both enamel and root caries are detailed through the discussion of demineralization/remineralization. Changes in approach using an "evidence-based dentistry" view of demineralization/remineralization are an integral part of this course.
Participants will understand the continued need for remineralization to help protect against the ongoing challenge to the tooth structure, secondary lesions and root caries; and appreciate the need to examine the literature and evidence when applying clinical preventive techniques for caries prevention.
